Description

广^ 号发射方法和装置 本申请要求于 2010 年 5 月 24 日提交中国专利局, 申请号为 201010182028.3 , 发明名称为"广播信号发射方法和装置"的中国专利申请 的优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种广播信号发射方法和装 置。 背景技术
无线传输技术的频率和功率资源有限, 而且受到信道衰落和干扰的影 响, 因此随着移动宽带和智能手机的普及, 传统以语音业务为主的蜂窝移 动通信网络已经很难承载移动互联网带来的爆发式数据流量。 从而使得能 够有效地提高频谱效率的多天线技术成为了下一代移动通信的主流技术。
小区制 (即蜂窝制) 是现今移动通信网络的基本实现方式。 基站是小 区的核心和实现移动通信的关键。 基站的信号发射可以分为两类: 专用信 道和公共信道, 其中, 专用信道承载单个移动终端所需信息, 属于基站和 终端之间的点对点通信; 公共信道承载小区中所有移动终端都需要的公共 信息, 例如: 长期演进 (Long Term Evolution; 简称: LTE)系统的广播信 道( Broadcast Channel; 简称: BCH ) 、 寻呼信道( Paging Channel; 简称: PCH )、用于多媒体广播组播业务( Multimedia Broadcasting and Multicasting Service; 简称: MBMS ) 的组播信道( Multicast Channel; 简称: MCH ) , 这些公共信息需要同时传送到单个或多个蜂窝小区中的所有用户, 更适合 于以广播信号形式进行发射, 因此需要一种多天线系统中的广播信号发射 方法。
多天线系统的无线传输信道根据天线间距和反射环境不同, 可以分为 相关衰落信道和独立衰落信道。 若天线间距较小、 周围反射物比较少或者 角度扩展小时, 天线之间信道衰落相关性较大; 若天线间距较大, 且反射 比较充分、 角度扩展大时, 天线之间信道衰落相互独立。 在宏小区(即宏蜂 窝)中, 由于基站的多天线系统一般架设在较高的楼顶或者山顶上, 周围不 存在反射物, 只有天线间距大于十个波长以上时, 才能形成独立衰落。 现 有基站的多天线系统很多具有相关衰落信道, 例如, 智能天线系统或者移 动终端处于弱反射环境(如平原地带、 水面或者草原等等)的多进多出
( Multiple Input Multiple Output; 简称: MIMO ) 系统。
由于单天线发射信号具有天然的全向覆盖特性, 因此在现有的多天线 系统中, 可以选取多天线系统中的一个天线, 并对选取的天线配置高功率 放大器, 以实现广播信号的小区或扇区全面覆盖。
在实现本发明过程中, 发明人发现现有技术中至少存在如下问题: 功 率放大器成本较高、 功耗较大, 从而无法有效的实现小区或者扇区的全面 覆盖。 发明内容

为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发明 实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中 的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其 他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
图 1为本发明广播信号发射方法一个实施例的流程图,如图 1所示,本实 施例的方法可以包括:
步骤 101、 对多天线系统中的天线阵列进行划分处理, 获取多个子阵列。 在本实施例中, 多天线系统可以为单个天线阵列、 多个天线阵列或极化天 线阵列等。对多天线系统中的天线阵列进行划分处理,获取多个子阵列的实现 方式可以采用但不限于如下的实现方式:
对于单个天线阵列而言,对单个天线阵列进行划分处理, 可以获取多个间 隔较近的子阵列。 其中, 每个子阵列可以包括至少一个阵元。
对于多个天线阵列而言,对多个天线阵列进行划分处理, 可以获取间隔较 远的多个子阵列; 另外, 还可以获取不同极化方式的子阵列, 其中, 每个子阵 列的极化方式相同。在本实施例中, 并不对多天线系统中的天线阵列具体采用 的划分处理方式进行限定,本领域技术人员可以根据需要采用任意划分处理方 式。 同时, 天线阵列可以为线性阵、 圓阵、 方阵, 以及任意其它阵形的天线阵 歹 ij ; 天线阵元的间隔一般为半个波长, 同时也可以是其它能保持信道相关性的 阵元间隔, 如两个波长, 甚至十个波长等等。
步骤 102、 获取多个子阵列中每个子阵列的基本权向量, 该基本权向量使 得每个子阵列的波束峰均功率比低于预设门限,并且使得不同子阵列的波束方 向图在方向维度上互补。
步骤 103、 根据每个基本权向量中的权系数, 分别对每个基本权向量对应 的子阵列的阵元上的发射信号进行加权处理得到第一信号,并应用阵元对第一 信号进行发射。
在本实施例中,每个基本权向量可以包括多个权系数、每个子阵列可以包 括多个阵元,并且每个子阵列对应的基本权向量的权系数数量与该子阵列的阵 元数量相等。根据每个子阵列对应的基本权向量的权系数, 分别对该子阵列的 阵元上的发射信号进行加权处理得到第一信号,即对每个子阵列的阵元上的发 射信号进行加权处理得到第一信号, 并应用阵元对第一信号进行发射,从而使 得每个子阵列的波束方向图覆盖角度宽、 峰均功率比低, 同时, 不同的子阵列 的波束方向图在方向维度上具有互补性。
举例来说,当根据多个子阵列中的一个子阵列对应的基本权向量中的权系 数,对该子阵列的阵元上的发射信号进行加权处理, 并应用该子阵列的阵元对 加权处理后的信号进行发射,该子阵列的波束方向图可能在一些特定方向上增 益很低,甚至为零增益时, 而根据该多个子阵列中的另一个子阵列对应的基本 权向量的权系数,对另一个子阵列的阵元上的发射信号进行加权处理, 并应用 该子阵列的阵元对加权处理后的信号进行发射,使得该子阵列的波束方向图在 这些特定方向上具有较高的增益,从而使得多个子阵列的波束方向图的平均波 束方向图在该特定方向上的增益波动较小。
在本实施例中, 当一个子阵列的波束方向图在特定方向上增益艮低时, 则 在该特定方向上的移动终端在该时刻接收到的该子阵列发射的信号可能较弱。 但是当其它子阵列的波束方向图在该特定方向上具有较高的增益时,使得该特 定方向上的移动终端在该时刻接收到的其他子阵列发射的信号较强,可以通过 信道编码或分集等技术,补偿多个子阵列中的一个子阵列发射信号较弱所带来 的性能损失, 进而保证该特定方向上的移动终端能够正常接收广播信号。
在本实施例中,通过对多天线系统中的天线阵列进行划分处理, 获取多个 子阵列,再获取多个子阵列中每个子阵列的基本权向量, 该基本权向量使得每 个子阵列的波束峰均功率比低于预设门限,并且使得不同子阵列的波束方向图 在方向维度上互补, 并根据每个基本权向量的权系数,对每个子阵列的阵元上 的发射信号进行加权处理得到第一信号, 并应用阵元对第一信号进行发射, 由 于每个子阵列的波束方向图覆盖角度宽、峰均功率比低, 并且全部子阵列的波 束方向图的平均波束方向图在全小区或扇区中各个方向上的增益差异等于零 或小于预定的数值,从而使得整个多天线系统在各个方向上的发射功率基本相 等, 进而实现了多天线系统中广播信号在小区或扇区中各个方向上的全面覆 盖, 并有效的降低了经济成本。
图 2为本发明广播信号发射方法另一个实施例的流程图,图 3为图 2所示 本发明广播信号发射方法实施例中信号发射的原理图,如图 2和图 3所示, 本 实施例的方法可以包括:
步骤 201、 对广播信号进行信道编码处理、 星座调制处理以及空时频编码 处理, 获取多路码流信号。
在本实施例中, 可以对广播信号进行信道编码处理和星座调制处理, 获取 多路符号流。 因此,每个子阵列的阵元上的发射信号可以为码流信号或者符号 流。 举例来说,广播信号具体为多媒体广播组播业务( Multimedia Broadcasting and Multicasting Service; 简称: MBMS )和小区公共信道信号的比特流。 在本 实施例中,对广播信号进行空时频编码处理, 获取多路码流信号的一种具体实 现方式为:先对多媒体广播组播业务和小区公共信道信号的比特流分别进行信 道编码处理、交织处理和星座映射处理,获取(复)符号流。然后将获取的(复) 符号流进行空时频编码处理, 获取多路码流信号,码流的数量与子阵列的数量 相等, 并——对应。
或者,多媒体广播组播业务和小区公共控制信号的比特流可以分别进行信 道编码处理、 交织处理和星座映射处理, 获取单路(复)符号流, 将该符号流 发送到所述的多个子阵列的每个子阵列, 即每个子阵列的发射信号相同。
在本实施例中, 以对广播信号进行空时频编码处理, 获取多路码流信号为 例, 详细介绍本实施例的技术方案。 空时频编码方法可以采用但不限于 Alamouti编码、 空时分组码 ( Space-Time Block Coding; 简称: STBC ) 、 空 频分组码 ( Space-Frequency Block Coding; 简称: SFBC ) 、 时间切换发射分 集(Time Switched Transmit Diversity; 简称: TSTD ) 和频率切换发射分集 ( Frequency Switched Transmit Diversity; 简称: FSTD ) 。 本实施例并不对具 体采用的空时频编码方法进行限定,本领域技术人员可以根据需要采用以上任 意空时频编码方法或其组合或其它可能的空时频编码方法。
步骤 202、 对单个天线阵列进行逻辑划分处理, 获取多个子阵列。
在本实施例中, 以多天线系统为单个天线阵列为例,详细介绍本实施例的 技术方案, 对单个天线阵列进行逻辑划分处理, 获取多个子阵列, 每个子阵列 中包含至少一个阵元。 每个阵元只能被所有子阵列选取一次, 换言之, 任意两 个不同的子阵列不包含相同的阵元。 同时, 划分处理之前的单个天线阵列的每 个阵元都被选取一次,即所有子阵列的阵元之和等于划分处理之前的单个天线 阵列中所有阵元。
举例来说, 图 4为八天线均匀线性阵列划分的结构示意图, 如图 4所示, 对单个天线阵列进行逻辑划分处理,获取的两个子阵列, 分别为子阵列 1和子 阵歹 'j 2, 每个子阵列包含四个阵元。 本实施例并不对阵元空间排列方式、 阵元 数量、 阵元间距进行限定, 本领域技术人员可以根据需要进行设置。
本实施例中的步骤 202根据天线阵列的类型不同,还可以采用其它实现方 式:
一、 当多天线系统为多个天线阵列时, 步骤 202的一种实现方式可以为: 对多个天线阵列按照间隔距离进行划分处理, 获取多个子阵列。
举例来说, 多天线系统包含多个间隔较远的天线阵列, 图 5为两个四天线 均匀线性阵列划分的结构示意图, 如图 4所示, 获取的两个子阵列, 分别为天 线阵列 1和天线阵列 2, 每个子阵列包含四个阵元, 每个阵元之间的距离表示 为 , 一般为半个波长, 子阵列之间的距离 ^大于 , 两个四天线均匀线性阵 列可以为同一个基站上物理位置较远的两个天线阵列,也可以是安装在两个不 同基站上的天线阵列。 本实施例并不对阵元空间排列方式、 阵元数量、 阵元间 距和不同子阵列间的距离进行限定, 本领域技术人员可以根据需要进行设置。
二、 当多天线系统为极化天线阵列时, 步骤 202的一种实现方式可以为: 对极化天线阵列按照极化方向进行划分处理, 获取多个子阵列。
举例来说, 多天线系统为极化天线阵列, 图 6为八阵元双极化天线划分的 结构示意图, 如图 6所示, 获取两个子阵列, 每个子阵列包含四个阵元, 一个 子阵列中的四个阵元为水平极化方式;另一个子阵列中的四个阵元为垂直极化 方式。 本实施例并不对阵元空间排列方式、 阵元数量、 阵元间距进行限定, 本 领域技术人员可以根据需要进行设置。值得注意的是,每个子阵列中的所有阵 元极化方式相同, 以具有相关的信道衰落。
本发明适用的天线阵列可以为线性阵、 圓阵、 方阵, 以及任意其它阵形的 天线阵列; 天线阵元的间隔一般为半个波长, 同时也可以是其它能保持信道相 关性的阵元间隔, 如两个波长, 甚至十个波长等等。
步骤 203、 获取多个子阵列中每个子阵列的基本权向量, 该基本权向量使 得每个子阵列的波束峰均功率比低于预设门限,并且使得不同子阵列的波束方 向图在方向维度上互补。
本实施例中, 广播信号发射装置获取与子阵列对应的基本权向量时, 可以 采用计算机遍历选取的方式, 而且,本实施例中获取的基本权向量中的权系数 具有相同的模值, 因此,相同模值的权系数可以使得天线阵列的所有阵元等功 率发射, 从而可以提高功率放大器的效率。
本实施例中获取基本权向量的方法灵活简单,举例来说, 一般获取基本权 向量的实现方式为: 假设在复数坐标的单位圓上选取了 N个模值为 1的复数 作为可用权系数, 天线阵列的阵元数量为 ^1, 则可能获取的 M维权向量的组 合有 NM种。 假设, N=8 , M=8 , 则需要遍历的权向量数量共有 88 = 16777216。 具体的, 为了进一步提供选取精度,还可以选取 16个或 32个单位圓上的复数 作为可用权系数, 或者天线阵元的数量增加, 例如 12或 16阵元的阵列, 每个 遍历的权向量都需要单独进行波束方向图计算、峰均功率比计算等,其计算相 对复杂。 相比之下, 在本实施例中, 由于采用步骤 202来实现对天线阵列进行划分 处理, 来获取多个子阵列, 使得每个子阵列中的阵元数量较少, 举例来说, 例 如天线阵列为八天线阵列,对该阵列按照四阵元进行划分处理,每个子阵列中 的阵元数量为 4个, 那么需要遍历的权向量的数量共有 84 = 4096种; 对该八天 线阵列按照两阵元进行划分处理,每个子阵列中的阵元数量为 2个, 那么需要 遍历的权向量的数量共有 82 = 64, 因此, 本实施例中的获取基本权向量的方法 更为简单和灵活。
步骤 204、 根据每个基本权向量中的权系数, 分别对每个子阵列中的阵元 上的码流信号进行加权处理得到第一信号, 并应用阵元对第一信号进行发射。
在本实施例中, 每个子阵列中包含的阵元数可以相同, 也可以不相同。 需 要说明的是,每个基本权向量包含多个权系数,每个权向量包括的权系数的数 量与每个基本权向量对应的子阵列所包含的阵元的数量相同。图 7为图 2所示 本发明广播信号发射方法实施例中信号发射的原理图,如图 7所示, 以子阵列 的阵元数为 M为例来说,广播信号发射装置可以获取与子阵列对应的基本权 向量, 该基本权向量可以使子阵列根据对应的基本权向量,对接收的一路码流 信号进行加权处理, 需要说明的是, 该基本权向量对应的波束峰均功率比低于 预设门限, 并且不同子阵列的波束方向图在方向维度上具有互补性, 进而使得 全部子阵列的平均波束方向图趋近于单天线产生的全向波束。
步骤 205、 在时间维度或频率维度上对所述每个基本权向量进行更新处 理, 分别获取更新后的权向量。 一、 相位旋转方法。 从 [0 2; ^上随机地获取一个相位值 Δ , 每个子阵 列对应的基本权向量表示为 W = [H¾ w2 … wMf , wm (w = l,' " ,M)表示权系 数, 为大于 1的正整数。
应用公式:
wNew = diag[\
「 ,r ( 1 )
= w w2e^ w,eJ2^ … wMeJ{M-l)^ 对每个子阵列对应的基本权向量进行更新处理,得到每个子阵列对应的更 新后的权向量。 其中: ν^表示更新后的权向量, j 为虚数单位( / = -1 ) , diag[ ]表示由; ^至 x„构成的对角阵。
二、 随机变量方法。
具体的, 当多天线系统的天线阵列进行划分处理, 获取的子阵列包括 两个阵元时, 应用基本权向量对子阵列进行加权处理, 具有两个特征: 在 模相等的复数集合中, 任意选取两个复数作为权系数, ( 1 )无论权系数如 何选取, 其波束方向图的峰均功率比 (或峰值)保持不变; (2 ) 当其中的 一个权系数不变, 对另一个权系数取负值时, 对应的波束方向图与两个权 系数均不取负值时的波束方向图互补。
基于上述两个特征, 可以用随机的方法获取和更新基本权向量。 举例 来说, 对于基本权向量的选取方式为, 随机选取两个权系数, 构成一个子 阵列对应的第一基本权向量, 其中, 两个权系数模均等于 1, 有 |Wl| = |w2| = i ; 对第一基本权向量中的一个权系数进行取负值处理, 例如: 对第一基本权 向量的第二权系数取负值处理,获取另一个子阵列对应的第二基本权向量。 具体为: Wl = [Wl W2f和 w2 = [Wl - W2 f。 需要获取更新后的权向量时, 重新 随机选取两个权系数, 按照上述方法便可以获取更新后的两个权向量, 并 图互补。 数, 分别对每个子阵列的阵元上的发射信号进行加权处理得到第二信号, 并应 用阵元对该第二信号进行发射。
在本实施例中,每个子阵列固定于一个基本波束方向图, 并且不同子阵列 的多个波束方向图互补,但是由于波束方向图的数量很少, 因此多天线系统的 发射功率在各个方向上可能会有差异。 因此, 可以在时间维度或频率维度上对 每个子阵列对应的基本权向量进行更新处理,以使全部子阵列的平均波束方向 图具有更好的等向性, 进而实现了小区或扇区的全面覆盖, 并有效的降低了经 济成本。
在本实施例中, 为了有效的实现小区或扇区的全面覆盖,还可以包括但不 限于以下几种实现方式:
一、 延时方法: 在每个阵元上, 根据权系数对发射信号进行加权处理 得到第一信号, 并对第一信号进行延时处理得到第二信号, 其中, 各阵元 上的延时量不相同, 最大延时量小于预设值。 例如, 采用线性增量延时, 第一阵元上不作延时, 第二阵元上延时 Δτ, 第三阵元上延时 2Δτ, 依次递 增, 直到最后一个阵元, 第 Ν阵元上延时(N- l)Ar。 并应用各个阵元对第二 信号进行发射。
二、 循环延时方法: 具体的, 由于宽带无线通信系统可采用正交频 分复用 ( Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing ; 简称: OFDM )调 制, 根据离散傅里叶变换( Digital Fourier Transform; 简称: DFT )性质, 时域的循环延时, 对应频域符号的相位旋转。 具体的, 每个子阵列上的发 射信号先经过 OFDM调制, 形成 OFDM符号, 该子阵列对应基本权向量中 的第一权系数加权该 OFDM符号, 并由该子阵列的第一阵元发射; 第二权 系数加权该 OFDM符号, 作循环延时, 并由该子阵列的第二阵元发射; 依 此类推, 直到基本权向量的最后一个权系数加权该 OFDM符号, 作循环延 时, 并由该子阵列的最后一个阵元发射; 需要说明的是, 同一个子阵列上 不同阵元的循环延时大小不相同。
在本实施例中, 通过对天线阵列进行划分处理, 获取多个子阵列, 为每 个子阵列选取一个基本权向量, 根据每个子阵列的基本权向量, 对每个子 阵列的阵元上的码流信号进行加权处理, 使得每个子阵列的波束方向图覆 盖角度宽、 峰均功率比低于预设门限, 并且不同子阵列形成的波束方向图 在方向维度上具有互补性, 全部子阵列形成的所有波束方向图的平均波束 方向图在各个方向上的差异等于零或小于预设值, 同时, 通过在时间维度 或频率维度上对基本权向量进行更新处理,获取时间分集或频率分集增益, 进一步增强了小区或者扇区全面覆盖性能, 并有效的降低了经济成本。
下面采用几个具体的实施例对本发明广播信号发射方法的技术方案进 行详细说明。
图 8为本发明广播信号发射方法又一个实施例的流程图,图 9为图 8本发 明广播信号发射方法实施中的基于 Alamouti编码和相位旋转法的信号发射原 理图; 图 10为图 8本发明广播信号发射方法实施中的基于 Alamouti编码和循 环延时法的信号发射原理图, 如图 8、 图 9和图 10所示, 本实施例的方法可 以包括:
步骤 301、 对广播信号采用信道编码处理、 星座调制处理以及 Alamouti 编码处理, 获取两路空时频码流。 举例来说,广播信号具体为多媒体广播组播业务和小区公共控制信号的比 特流。 在本实施例中, 广播信号经过信道编码和星座映射后, 获取(复)符号 流, 分别以(复)符号流中的每两个符号为一组, 并对每两个符号为一组的符 号流进行空时频编码, 产生两路空时频码流。 具体的, Alamouti编码有两种等 价形式, 编码矩阵如公式(2 )和公式(3 )所示, 其中, 编码矩阵行对应空间 域的一根天线或本发明中的一个子阵列, 编码矩阵列对应时间域的 OFDM符 号周期, 或频域的 OFDM子载波。 需要说明的是, 该空时频码流即为码流信 号。
Figure imgf000018_0001
步骤 302、 对获取的两路空时频码流进行宽带信号调制;
举例来说, 对于窄带通信系统, 空时频码流中的符号可按照顺序直接发 射, 可以不进行本步骤的处理; 而对于宽带通信系统中, 需要进行码分多址 ( Code Division Multiple Access,简称: CDMA )调制或正交频分复用( OFDM ) 调制, 本实施例仅以 OFDM调制为例进行说明, 本发明中的其它实施例中的 OFDM调制均可由 CDMA调制进行替代。首先对空时频码流进行子载波映射, 从而为每个空时频码流中的符号分配合适的时频资源块, 再对分配后的空时 频码流中的符号进行 OFDM调制, 即进行逆快速傅立叶变换( IFFT )并插入 循环前缀(CP )。 其中, 子载波映射可以有空时映射和空频映射两种方法。 图 11为图 8所示本发明广播信号发射方法实施例中采用空时映射关系示意图, 图 12为图 8所示本发明广播信号发射方法实施例中采用空频映射关系示意图。 如图 11所示, 当子载波映射为空时映射时, Alamouti编码矩阵的第一路 空时码流, 放置到第一子阵列上两个连续 OFDM 符号的相同子载波上, Alamouti编码矩阵的第二路空时码流, 放置到第二子阵列上两个连续 OFDM 符号的相同子载波上, 并且与第一子阵列上的子载波位置相同。
如图 12所示, 当子载波映射为空频映射时, Alamouti编码矩阵的第一空 频码流, 放置到第一子阵列两个连续的子载波上, Alamouti编码矩阵的第二 空频码流, 放置到第二子阵列上两个连续的子载波上, 并且与第一子阵列上 的子载波位置相同。 在本实施例中, 以空时映射为例, 对本实施例的技术方案 进行详细介绍。
步骤 303、 对多天线系统进行划分处理, 获取两个子阵列, 每个子阵 列用于发射一路空时频码流。
在本实施例中, 由于采用 Alamouti编码后, 获取两路空时频码流, 因此 把多天线系统进行划分处理, 获取两个子阵列。 举例来说, 以图 6中八天线的 两个子阵列具有不同的极化方式, 可以认为信道衰落相互独立,相同子阵列内 的阵元极化方式相同, 且间隔较近, 可以获取信道相关性。 根据两个子阵列的 方向向量, 分别选取基本权向量, 并对两路空时频码流分别进行加权处理后发 射。
为了更具体地说明本发明,再以图 4中所示的八天线半波长间隔的均匀线 性阵列 (Uniform Linear Array; 简称: ULA )为例, 详细介绍本实施例的技术 方案。本实施例并不对具体采用的天线阵列进行限定, 本领域技术人员可以根 据需要采用任何天线阵形,任何天线数量以及其它阵元间隔的天线阵列。具体 的, 该天线阵列以四个相邻阵元为一子阵列进行划分处理, 获取各有四个相邻 阵元的两个子阵列。 由于发射的空时频码流不同, 因此两个子阵列发射的信号 不会发生干涉效应,该天线阵列的方向向量可以分解成两个四维的独立方向向 量, 以第一阵元为参考点, 则 ULA的方向向量为:
" _ [1 两个子阵列均以 ULA的第一阵元为参考点,则两个子阵列的方向向量分别为:
Figure imgf000020_0001
其中, 表示方向角度, (.f表示向量的转置。
步骤 304、 获取两个子阵列中每个子阵列的基本权向量, 该基本权向 的波束方向图在方向维度上互补。
在本实施例中, 广播信号发射装置可以获取与两个子阵列分别对应的 基本权向量, 两个基本权向量可以使得对应子阵列的波束方向图的覆盖角 度宽、 峰均功率比低, 并且两个波束方向图互补。 举例来说, 获取使得波 束方向图覆盖角度宽、 峰均功率比低和具有互补性时对应的两个基本权向 量:
w1 =[l 0.7071 - 0.7071J j -0.7071 - 0.7071^]^ ( 5 ) w2 = [l -0.7071 + 0.707 j 0.7071 + 0.7071^/]^ ( 6 ) 其中, Wl和 ^表示基本权向量, (.f表示向量的共轭转置。
步骤 305、 根据每个基本权向量中的权系数, 分别对每个基本权向量 对应的子阵列中的阵元上的空时频码流进行加权处理得到第一信号, 并应 用阵元对第一信号进行发射。
两个子阵列上的两路空时频码流分别由两个基本权向量中的权系数进 行加权处理得到第一信号, 并应用阵元对第一信号进行发射, 子阵列的波 束方向图可以公式 (7 )获取:
g(0) = wHa(0) ( 7 ) 其中, 表示波束方向图;
图 13为图 8所示本发明广播信号发射方法实施例中两个互补的波束方向 图和平均波束方向图, 如图 13所示, 两个子阵列的波束方向图分别由划线 和点线表示, 通过图 13可知, 两个波束具有良好的互补性: 波束 1的高增 益区, 如角度30"、90 15(7、270'处, 正好补偿波束 2的低增益区; 反之, 波束 1的低增益区, 如图中05、180'、210 330'处, 波束 2恰好具有高增益。 同时, 由于两个波束方向图的平均波束方向图恰好为圓形(如图 13中实线所示), 因此能完成全向覆盖。
步骤 306、 使用相位旋转方法在时间维度或频率维度上对基本权向量 进行更新处理, 获取更新后的权向量。
步骤 307、 在不同的时间或频率上根据每个更新后的权向量的权系数, 分别对每个子阵列的阵元上的发射信号进行加权处理得到第二信号, 并应 用阵元对第二信号进行发射。
如图 13所示, 两个基本权向量的平均波束方向图能够完成小区的全向 覆盖。 但是当天线阵列中阵元数量较多时, 由于计算复杂度过高, 很难获 取完全互补的两个基本权向量; 或由于天线的物理位置误差、 馈线的相位 误差等等因素造成的天线通道的相位误差的存在, 例如, 在实际工程中, 应用基本权向量对子阵列的发射信号进行加权处理获取的波束方向图与理 论计算获取的波束方向图可能存在较大偏差。 为了达到更好的覆盖性能并 提高鲁棒性, 可以使用相位旋转法, 在时间维度或频率维度上对基本权向 量进行更新处理, 从而使得子阵列的平均波束方向图具有良好的等向性。 举例来说, 按照图 2中使用相位旋转法, 随机获取相位值 Δ , 假设获取的 △ = 45 , 根据公式 ( 1 ) , 获得两个更新后的权向量:
= [i 1 -1 1]" 8 )
Figure imgf000022_0001
其中, v3和 v4表示更新后的权向量。
图 14为图 8所示本发明广播信号发射方法实施例中更新后的两个互补的 波束方向图和平均波束方向图, 如图 14所示, 应用两个更新后的权向量对 子阵列上的空时频码流进行加权处理, 获取与两个子阵列中的每个子阵列 分别对应的更新后的波束方向图与应用基本权向量对子阵列上的空时频码 图有相同的峰均功率比和峰值, 同时, 更新后的两个波束方向图仍保持良 好的互补性。
在本实施例中, 通过采用 Alamouti编码对发射的广播信号进行编码处理, 以获取两路空时频码流,从而相应的对天线阵列进行划分处理,获取两子阵列, 为每个子阵列选取基本权向量,根据两个基本权向量,对子阵列的阵元上的码 流信号进行加权处理, 获取的波束方向图具有方向维度上的互补性,其发射功 率具有等向性。 同时,通过采用相位旋转方法在时间维度或频率维度上对基本 权向量不断进行更新处理, 进一步提高小区的全向覆盖性能,保证了小区内所 有移动终端能同时接收到同等质量的信号, 并有效的降低了经济成本。
进一步的, 该方法还可以采用延时方法得到第二信号。 举例来说, 在宽带 无线通信中, 子阵列上的空时频码流在进行加权处理前, 可采用 CDMA调制 处理, 获取的 CDMA扩频信号在子阵列的各阵元上分别由基本权向量的对应 权系数进行加权, 并作延时后发射。 例如, 采用线性增量延时, 第一阵元上不 作延时, 第二阵元上延时一个码片 (Chip ), 第三阵元上延时两个码片, 依次 递增, 直到最后一个阵元, 即第 N阵元上延时 N-1个码片。
在采用 OFDM调制的宽带通信系统中, 除了上述的延时法外, 该方法还 可以采用循环延时方法得到第二信号。在本实施例, 天线阵列为八天线的均匀 线性阵列, 并且该天线阵列以四个相邻阵元为一子阵列进行划分处理, 获取各 有四个相邻阵元的两个子阵列, 其中, 第一子阵列发射其中一路空时频码流, 在加权处理前, 对该码流进行 OFDM调制, 获取 OFDM符号。 该第一子阵列 对应的基本权向量中第一权系数加权 OFDM符号得到第二信号, 不作延时, 由第一阵元对第二信号进行发射; 第二权系数加权 OFDM符号, 并作循环延 时处理得到第二信号, 由第二阵元对第二信号进行发射; 第三权系数加权 OFDM符号, 并作循环延时处理得到第二信号, 由第三阵元对第二信号进行 发射; 第四权系数加权 OFDM符号, 并作循环延时处理得到第二信号, 由第 四阵元对第二信号进行发射。 第二子阵列发射两路空时频码流中的另一路,循 环延时方法与第一子阵列相同。 举例来说, 根据离散傅立叶变换(DFT )的性 质,在时域做循环延时, 等价于在离散傅立叶变换对应的频域符号上乘上相位 因子, 如公式( 10 )所示:
Figure imgf000024_0001
其中, 傅立叶变换因子为 = e w, 序列 S(")、 ("_ 、 SW , 分别表 示时域序列,循环延时 后的时域序列,以及离散傅立叶变换对应的频域序列。 由上式可知, 对时域序列做循环延时 , 等价于在频域序列上乘上相位因子 ', 可见该相位因子与频域序号 有关。 设子阵列上的空时频码流序列为 s^, 经过 OFDM调制后, 获取 OFDM符号 , 子阵列上四个阵元分别循 环延时 , ^123, 则对应的 OFDM调制前频域序列为1 ^[^^Μ', 等价于对子 载波上的信号进行加权, 加权因子为 ^ 。 子阵列进行加权处理, 总的权向量 则是基本权向量和循环延时形成的相位加权因子的乘积:
Figure imgf000024_0002
总权向量是关于子载波序号 的变量, 因此每个子载波上的权向量和加权 处理图不同。 波束方向图与子载波位置相关, 表示为:
gk(0) ^ w^a(0), k = 0, 1, 2, N_l ( 12 )
Ν表示 OFDM中 DFT长度, 其取值一般较大, 如 512、 1024等, 因此可 以产生足够多的不同的波束方向图, 其平均波束方向图具有等向性。
图 15为本发明广播信号发射方法又一个实施例的流程图,图 16为本发明 广播信号发射方法实施例中基于时间切换发射分集(TSTD )或频率切换发射 分集(FSTD ) 的信号发射示意图, 如图 15和 16所示, 本实施例的方法可以 包括:
步骤 401、 对广播信号采用空时分组编码(Space-Time Block Coding; 以 下简称: STBC )并结合时间切换发射分集( Time Switched Transmit Diversity; 以下简称: TSTD ) , 或者采用空频分组编码( Space-Frequency Block Coding; 以下简称: SFBC ) 并结合频率切换发射分集 (Frequency Switched Transmit Diversity; 以下简称: FSTD )进行编码处理, 获取四路空时频码流。
举例来说,广播信号具体为多媒体广播组播业务和小区公共控制信号的比 特流。 在本实施例中, 广播信号经过信道编码和星座映射后, 获取(复)符号 流, 分别以(复)符号流中的每四个符号为一组进行空时频编码, 产生四路 时频码流, 编码矩阵如下式所示:
Figure imgf000025_0001
获取的编码矩阵的每行对应一个子阵列,编码矩阵的每列对应时域的符号 发射周期, 或频域的子载波。
步骤 402、 对获取的四路空时频码流进行宽带信号调制;
举例来说,对于窄带通信系统,空时频码流中的符号可按照顺序直接发射, 可以不进行本步骤的处理; 而对于宽带通信系统中, 需要进行码分多址 ( CDMA )调制或正交频分复用 (OFDM )调制, 本实施例仅以 OFDM调制 为例进行说明。 首先对空时频码流进行子载波映射, 空时频码流中的符号可以 采用不同的子载波映射方式: (1 )空频映射: 每路空时频码流上的四个调制符 号放置在对应子阵列上的四个连续子载波上; (2 )空时映射: 每路空时频码流 上的四个调制符号放置在对应子阵列上四个连续 OFDM 符号的相同子载波 上;(3 )空时频映射:每路空时频码流上的四个调制符号放置在对应子阵列上、 连续两个 OFDM符号上的连续两个子载波上。才艮据 OFDM符号时间频率资源 的相关性, 以上三种子载波映射方式等价。 对经过映射后的空时频码流进行 OFDM调制处理, 即对分块数据进行逆快速傅立叶变换(IFFT ), 然后插入循 环前缀( CP )。
步骤 403、 对多天线系统进行划分处理, 获取四个子阵列。
在本实施例中, 由于采用 TSTD或 FSTD进行编码处理后, 获取四路空时 频码流。 因此把多天线系统进行划分处理, 获取四个子阵列, 每个子阵列选取 一个基本权向量, 以使得波束方向图覆盖角度宽、 峰均比低, 并且四个子阵列 产生的四个波束方向图的平均波束方向图在各个方向上的增益相等或差异小 于预设值。 以半波长为间隔均匀分布的八阵元 ULA为例, 详细介绍本实施例 的技术方案。本实施例并不对具体采用的天线阵列进行限定, 本领域技术人员 可以根据需要采用任何天线阵形, 任何天线数量以及其它阵元间隔的天线阵 歹 具体的, 该天线阵列以两个相邻阵元为一子阵列进行划分处理, 获取各有 两个相邻阵元的四个子阵列,该天线阵列的方向向量可以分解成四个二维的方 向向量, 以 ULA的第一阵元为参考点, 四个方向向量如公式( 14 )所示:
"^) = [1 e
Figure imgf000026_0001
aA (0) = [e 步骤 404、 获取多个子阵列中每个子阵列的基本权向量, 该基本权向
, 并且使得不同子阵列 的波束方向图在方向维度上互补,
在本实施例中, 获取四个的基本权向量,使得四个子阵列的波束方向图. 盖角度宽、峰均比低, 并且四个子阵列的波束方向图的平均波束方向图在小区 /扇区各个方向上的增益差异等于零或小于预设门限。 举例来说, 如下四个基 本权向量:
Figure imgf000027_0001
图 17为图 15本发明广播信号发射方法实施例中基本权向量的波束方 向图和平均波束方向图, 如图 17所示, 平均波束方向图在各个方向上的增 益相等。
步骤 405、 根据基本权向量的各权系数, 对每个子阵列对应阵元上的 码流信号进行加权处理得到第一信号, 并应用阵元对第一信号进行发射。
步骤 406、 使用相位旋转方法对基本权向量进行更新处理, 获取更新 后的权向量。
步骤 407、 在不同的时间或频率上根据每个更新后的权向量的权系数, 分别对每个子阵列的阵元上的发射信号进行加权处理得到第二信号, 并应 用阵元对第二信号进行发射。
每个子阵列天线阵元数量较多时, 选取完全互补的波束方向图对应的 基本权向量的计算量过大; 或由于天线物理位置、 不同阵元的馈线的相位 误差等等工程因素, 造成实际的波束方向图与理论计算结果有较大偏差, 多天线系统的发射功率在不同的方向上存在一定的差异。 为了提高覆盖性 能和鲁棒性, 可以使用相位旋转法, 在时间维度或频率维度上对基本权向 量进行更新处理, 获取时间或频率分集, 使得发射功率在各方向相等。 本 步骤 406采用的相位旋转方法在时间维度或频率维度上对基本权向量进行 更新处理的实现方式与图 7中的步骤 306采用的相位旋转方法在时间维度 或频率维度上对基本权向量进行更新处理的实现方式类似。
进一步的,步骤 406还可以为使用随机变量方法在时间维度或频率维度上 对基本权向量进行更新处理,在不同的时间或频率资源上使用更新后的权向量 对发射信号进行加权处理, 获取时间或频率分集。
具体的, 随机地在复数坐标的单位圓上选取四个权系数, 假设所选的 权系数分别为 ±1和 ±, 构造出如下四个更新后的权向量:
Wl =[i, - if, w2
Figure imgf000028_0001
其波束图如图所示, 波束 两两互补。 需要更新权向量时, 再随机地从复数坐标的单位圓上选取四个 权系数, 按照前述方法构成四个新的权向量。
在本实施例中, 通过采用 TSTD或 FSTD对广播信号进行编码处理, 以获 取四路空时频码流, 从而相应的对天线阵列进行划分处理, 获取四个子阵列, 并选取四个波束方向图互补的基本权向量,每个子阵列的阵元选取基本权向量 中对应权系数, 对空时频码流进行加权并发射。 从而更加有效的实现小区或扇区的全面覆盖。
举例来说, 每个子阵列选取一个基本权向量, 加权处理后使得子阵列 的波束方向图互补。 四路空时频码流中的第一路空时频码流经过 OFDM调 制, 获取 OFDM符号,对应基本权向量的第一权系数加权该 OFDM符号得 到第二信号, 不作延时处理, 由子阵列的第一阵元对第二信号进行发射; 第二权系数加权该 OFDM符号, 并作循环延时处理, 由第二阵元对第二信 号进行发射。 第二子阵列发射四路空时频码流中的第二路空时频码流, 循 环延时方法与第一子阵列相同。 第三子阵列和第四子阵列的发射方法与第 一阵列的方法相同, 在此不再赘述。 本实施例采用的循环延时方法的实现 方式与图 8所示的循环延时方法的实现方式类似。
